It was said that this move would lead to an improvement in country risk and consequently a way of bringing Argentine companies closer to the global credit market.

Drought: cereal companies calculate that in March the liquidation of dollars will fall 75% compared to 2022
The situation of the net, available reserves, that the Central Bank has at its disposal to meet the demand of importers who have already met all the requirements to sell them dollars at the official exchange rate, is increasingly compromised.
Only so far this month the Central had to sell 871 million dollars.
A part of those dollars came from the (scarce) reserves accumulated in the BCRA accounts.
And another part, even in the midst of the fierce drought, from the liquidations that the cereal companies made for grain exports.

Financial tension: the BCRA has already sold more than 60% of what it accumulated with the "soybean dollar"
After a week of high global tension and with the confirmation of the worsening of various indicators at the local level, the market will return to operations this Monday with its attention focused on the decision made by the United States Federal Reserve and the effects of the " coordinated actions" announced by the central banks of the main economies to prevent the expansion of the banking crisis.
There are many factors that set off the alerts in the City, but, after the inflation data for February and the certainty that in March the overheating of prices will continue to be high, what worries the local market the most these days is the persistent fall of the international reserves of the Central Bank and renewed exchange pressure on the financial front.
